The problem is that the club has (potentially, if true) lied to us completely, arguably because they knew he was a fans favourite.It'll all come out today if he plays.Yes, there would have been an absolute furore if it had been made public that a player who couldn't get in the team had been released and joined Stoke until the end of the season rather than joined Stoke on loan until the end of the season prior to being released.

If Big John had shown regular application he would never have been here in the first place.
The whining about this is right up there with the best of the Deadly Doug era.
I wonder how many of the "It's Villa's fault/this is terrible/how dare they/they lied to us" mob will be apologising?
